The Illinois General Election is on Tuesday, November 3, 2026
¿Y Si Sí?
Latinos keep America moving, but we aren’t showing up to vote. Este año, que ¿si sí?
With our communities under attack, we can no longer afford anything less than full representation across every branch of government. So, this election season we have to ask ourselves, what kind of change and accountability can we achieve if we turn out and show our elected leaders the full power del voto latino.

IT’s Almost TIME TO VOTE!
